Williams’ personal attorney, Andrew M. Stroth, refuted the raid allegations. “Coach Williams resigned today due to personal health issues and family issues.” There was no raid on Halas Hall or his residence.” “The rumours on social media are offensive and completely false,” he stated.

Brandon Faber, vice president of communications for the Bears, also confirmed that there was no raid.

McAfee, however, claimed on Thursday on his YouTube and ESPN program that “Our sources told us that an FBI raid did occur on Alan Williams’ house.”

Several social media posts claimed that the FBI raided the Bears’ practice facility, Halas Hall, and Williams’ residence on Wednesday evening, sparking speculation.

The FBI raid allegations began with a tweet from a football aggregate account. It was discovered to be false.

Based on Williams’ remark regarding health, McAfee believed that the cause for the raid may have been drugs, but noted that he did not know the truth.

The authorities have not acknowledged whether or not a raid took place.

General manager Ryan Poles provided few details about the circumstances of Williams’ resignation, beyond denying that Halas Hall had been raided.

“I don’t have many details to add there. Halas Hall being raided is completely false. Don’t know where that came from,” Poles told reporters Thursday.

“We’ve worked with [team president] Kevin [Warren] and [team chairman] George [McCaskey] and all our leadership to make sure we were handling it the right way, and everything concluded yesterday.”

Jon Zaghoul, a Chicago sports talk show personality, broke the story of an alleged FBI raid on Williams’ residence.

Zaghoul also claimed the FBI raided the Bears’ Halas Hall facility, which both the organization and Williams’ attorney, Andrew M. Stroth, refuted.

“There is absolutely no criminal activity,” Stroth said on Wednesday to 670 The Score, according to ProFootballTalk. “There are no criminal charges.” There has been no raid on Halas Hall. None of that is true.”
